Question:

Will the Government inform this Council of the class structure and anticipated class size of the secondary schools in the North District and Tai Po District of the New Territories for the 1995/96 academic year?

Reply:

Mr President,

The proposed 1995/96 class structures of all the secondary schools in Tai Po and North Districts are set out at Annex.

Regarding class size, it will be -

()

pupils per class for $1 to $5; and

However, in view of the temporary shortfall of S1 school places in the two districts in 1995. some schools have agreed to admit one to two more pupils per S1 class through the Secondary School Places Allocation system.
